Shipping Services

Although Ship Skis provides a platform through the Site and the Services for arranging and facilitating the shipment of golf clubs and other sports equipment ("Sporting Goods"), you acknowledge that Ship Skis utilizes one or more third-party companies to transport those Sporting Goods and that other third parties (including golf course personnel) may be involved in or responsible for submitting your Sporting Goods to Ship Skis or its shipping provider and/or receiving your Sporting Goods at the shipping destination. You acknowledge that you ship your Sporting Goods using the Services at your sole risk. In the event that your Sporting Goods are damaged or lost during shipment, or do not arrive at the shipping destination within a timely manner due to a failure of Ship Skis or its third-party shipping company, you may request Ship Skis' assistance with submitting any claims or complaints to the shipping company. Upon receiving timely and properly submitted information from you for such a claim or complaint, Ship Skis may share that information with its third-party business partners that were involved in handling that shipment (such as the shipping company and/or the golf course to or from which your Sporting Goods were shipped). Ship Skis and/or its third-party business partners may contact you regarding these issues. Ship Skis and/or its third-party business partners may conduct a reasonable investigation into your claim, but in no event is Ship Skis required or obligated to investigate any claims pertaining to lost, damaged or delayed Sporting Goods. You acknowledge and agree that your request for assistance from Ship Skis, and/or any reasonable investigation into your claim, does not entitle you to compensation or damages from Ship Skis, or any action or recourse by Ship Skis, and that a commercially reasonable investigation is your sole and exclusive remedy. You acknowledge that the Services are also subject to any terms imposed by subcontractors of Ship Skis and all third-party shipping companies.

Rates and Rate Adjustments

Rates generated on the Ship Skis website or by a Ship Skis customer service representative are based upon the information provided to you at the time of inquiry. Final rates will be based upon actual weights and dimensions of each shipment that is shipped and verified by a third party carrier. A shipments dimensions are calculated by the widest point of each side. If the actual weight or dimensions of the shipment exceeds the maximum allowed for the selected item, rates will be adjusted to reflect the next largest category and a $25 adjustment fee will be incurred. If a larger category does not exist, additional charges will be incurred for the weight or dimension exceeding maximum allowed in the largest category. You are responsible for all handling fees charged by a pickup or delivery location, such as a hotel, resort, golf facility or carrier store. All charges and fees will be charged to the credit card that was used to process the original shipment.

You acknowledge and agree that the final charges applicable to your shipment may not be known by Ship Skis, or charged to you, until Ship Skis receives a final invoice from the third-party shipping company (which in some cases may be several weeks following the date of your shipment). We reserve the right to charge your credit card (or other form of payment we have on file) upon our receipt of the final invoice from the third-party shipping company, without obtaining additional authorization from you.

Cancellations and Changes

You may obtain a full refund if you cancel a shipment at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up date.

If you cancel a shipment within 48 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up date, you may receive an account credit in the amount of your cancelled shipment, less a cancellation fee of $10.00 per package (or, in the case of a partial cancellation (i.e. only canceling one leg of a round-trip shipment), $10.00 per package), for use on the Site. The account credit will not expire, and is fully transferrable.

It may take up to 30 days for the refund to appear on your credit card statement. In most cases, Ship Skis will process the refund within 5 business days.

You may make changes to your pickup date and time, without incurring any change fees, if you notify Ship Skis at least three (3) business days prior to the original scheduled pickup time. Changes requested between three (3) business days and 24 hours prior to the original scheduled pickup time may be assessed a $25 administrative fee in addition to any difference in the shipping rate. Changes made within 24 hours of the original scheduled pickup time may be assessed an administrative fee of greater than $25 in addition to any difference in the shipping rate.

Packaging, Locking, Insuring and Secure Delivery of Sporting Goods

You are solely responsible for the packaging, locking, insuring and secure delivery of any Sporting Goods you deposit with Ship Skis, or ship using the Services. If you desire to have your package locked, you must package it accordingly prior to pick-up. Finally, if you wish to insure your package, you must so indicate at the time of your order. Ship Skis shall have no liability for damage to, or loss of, packages or Sporting Goods resulting from poor packaging, failure to lock, failure to acquire insurance, or failure to require signature upon delivery.

Ship Skis insures against complete loss of or against any physical damage that has occurred to a shipment while in transit. Ship Skis or its logistics partners are not liable for damage or loss of protruding parts such as wheels, straps, pockets, handles, or other items attached to a travel case or bag. Any claims for lost or missing items will require a physical investigation.

Prohibited Items

You acknowledge and agree that the Services are intended to be used for the shipment of Sporting Goods and not for other items. You further acknowledge that Ship Skis, and its third-party shipping companies, as well as applicable laws prohibit the shipment of certain goods, as follows (collectively, the “Prohibited Items”):
